Invitation to Fabege´s presentation of the Interim report Jan-Mar 2026

Fabege will publish its interim report Jan–Mar 2026 on 23 April 2026 at 07:30 CET and will host an audiocast and teleconference at 09:00 CET the same day. CEO Bent Oustad and VP/CFO Åsa Bergström will present the report in English and take questions; an audiocast link is provided and teleconference dial-in details will be distributed.

Analysis

The upcoming Q1 audiocast is a high-leverage event: management tone on rent reversion and the refinancing pipeline will drive intraday moves and set a 3‑6 month re‑rating path. Expect markets to react more to guidance on lease expiries and credit maturities than to one quarter’s NOI — a reassuring occupancy print with a clean financing timetable can trigger a >5‑10% snap recovery in market-implied NAV for well‑located Stockholm offices.

Second‑order effects: Fabege’s ability to convert office space to mixed‑use or residential (planning approvals, capex timeline) materially alters terminal value assumptions; every approved repurposing project that reduces vacancy by 1pp can lift localized rents and lower effective cap rates by 10–25bps. Conversely, a defensive tone on demand (extended incentives, longer lease negotiations) is likely to widen spreads between high‑quality CBD landlords and peripheral owners, pressuring lower‑quality peers’ funding costs.

Rate and credit sensitivity is the key tail: a 25bp upward shock in yield curves could slice 4–6% off NAV for office‑heavy landlords with ~4% initial yields; more severe refinancing stress (a 150–200bp move in credit spreads) is a multi‑quarter downside that hits levered names first. Watch Q&A language: explicit mention of cov‑light amendments, covenant waivers, or planned bond issuance signals short‑term funding risk; conversely concrete swap extensions and forward debt lines are positive.

Consensus blind spots: the market will likely focus on headline rents and valuations but underprice optionality from active asset rotation (selling non‑core at small discounts and deploying into logistics/residential), which can be a 1–2 year value driver. Also, short‑term volatility will create tactical entry windows — price dislocations post‑call are opportunities to buy secured cashflow or to implement pairs that isolate credit vs property‑market risk.

Key Decisions for Investors

• Event trade (0–10 days): Buy Fabege B (FABG) on a soft open if CEO commentary is neutral/positive — target a 6–12% alpha from NAV re‑rating, stop‑loss at 4% deleveraging on negative financing news; position size 1–2% NAV intraday.
• Pair trade (0–3 months): Long FABG (quality Stockholm office exposure) / short Balder B (BALD‑B) or another regional landlord with large peripheral office stock — this isolates rate/refinancing stress vs prime rent reversion; aim for 8–15% asymmetry if FABG holds up while peers lag.
• Protective options (30–90 days): Buy FABG put spreads (long put / short lower strike put) to cap downside from surprise credit deterioration while keeping upside — cost should be limited to 1–2% of notional, protecting against a >8% drawdown.
• Credit angle (1–12 months): Evaluate senior Fabege bonds for purchase on any >50bps post‑call spread widening versus peers; expected carry + tightening on restored confidence can produce 6–10% total return if refinancing announcements follow.
• Catalyst monitor: If management confirms convertible repurposing pipeline or forward debt lines, add to long exposure and consider selling short dated volatility — a confirmed roadmap reduces uncertainty and historically compresses implied yields within 4–8 weeks.
